Spanish Supremacy

[ViCoPoWeR]

It would be more effective this unique tech if it's added the possibility to choose between the standard "pasive mode" for the villager and a "deffensive mode" as the war units has, therefore the villagers could be use like a militia. Otherwise, I belive it's a useless tech.

[Woudo]

It greatly ups their HP and melee/pierce armour as well as damage. The HP and armour makes them more resistance to enemy raids, and the damage increase very, very slightly increases woodcutting. It's a really good tech. Far from useless.

There's a similar tech in AoE1 DE called Zealotry. That one is definitely less useful.

[ViCoPoWeR]

It's true I overdoing with my explanation. The point is that it would be ever better if they introduce that buff.
By the way, how that supremacy increases woodcutting? It's the first time I read this and I'm very interested in all this "hiding" statistics behind AOE2

Supremacy vils chop trees in one hit, which is one hit less than generic vils.

[Woudo]

Trees have an amount of HP villagers need to reduce to 0 before they can start harvesting wood. For the majority of trees, that value is 15. Increasing the attack of villagers makes that happen faster, and getting the Sappers technology (+15 damage to buildings by villagers) allows them to 1-tap the tree.

When I said very, very slightly, I meant it. It's insignificant.

Treadmill Crane (20% faster construction speed) makes your farmers very, very slightly better by increasing the speed they reseed farms.

I really love this game. By the way, I have just saw a video of the Vipper using Spanish Supremacy and... I have understood why it will be an extremely good tech if the villagers could be manage as military units.

I remember a game between TheMax and I think it was MBL, late game spanish.
MBL had researched supremacy 3+8 attack/ 80 hp, and they fought the helbs and hussars pretty nicely. And don't forget that you have at least 100 of them,which you can use in combat.

Zealotry is not useless, Fully upgraded mamelukes at 130 hp makes them pretty badass.

Zealotry in aoe 1 was a temple tech. I did something like half villager work speed or was it carry capacity but increases their speed, hp etc.

It is compeltely different from the Mameluke tech

[Lennart]

The angry pitchfork mob tech.
